Google Actions is Google Assistant’s version of what Amazon skills. It has been around for quite some time in the market, but Google has put forth an announcement of extending its platform. In addition to various other features present in the platform, it mainly supports a more extensive and broader set of international Google Actions developers.

Thus the most imperative update is that Google Actions are now available in seven new languages, including Hindi, Indonesian, Thai, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, and Dutch. These languages join the already existing English, German, French, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and Russian as entirely supported languages for the developers. It means that Google’s Dialogflow tool used for creating conversational interfaces now also supports these seven newly introduced languages.

Furthermore, Google translating the Actions is being made more uncomplicated by allowing the developers to export their directory listing information in the form of a file format. Another one among the new features that are being made available to all the Google action developers is ...
... the capability to build a deep link to an Android app by using Google Assistant Actions.

It is said by Brad Abrams, Google Product Manager, that by the end of the year, Google Assistant is expected to reach about 95 percent of all eligible Android phones all across the world. Google Actions are a great way to reach the users and help them get things done quickly by simple voice command.

Latest updates for the accessible building of Google Actions for global audiences
In addition to introducing new languages, Google is also trying to make it easier for building your Action to be used by global audiences.

Initially, the support for building with templates has been added. It is the creating of an Action by filling in a Google Sheet. This does not require a single line of code for French, Japanese, and German languages.

Furthermore, it has been made more accessible to localize your Actions into various languages by letting you export directory listing information in a file format. The file lets you translate offline and upload the translations directly to your console. It makes localization quicker and more organized.

Developers can better understand the location-based queries from their users by linking the Actions to Google Places API. This lets the developers have conversations about different places. So, if any user, for instance, asks for Starbucks around the user’s current location, the Google Assistant can fetch the details by asking more questions about where exactly you wish to go.

The Assistant can now automatically move on without introductions for the users who continuously use a given developer’s Actions. This enables users to get things done quickly.

These updates are imposed on improving the platform for Google Actions developers, and still, more advancements are in progress. They also aim to make the Google Assistant and Actions on Google accessible across the globe.
